    Welcome back to the forum Wotan.

    1; Low oil pressure. First step is to replace the engine oil and see if that makes any difference. If it makes no difference I would suspect the oil pressure sensor as the next most likely cause.

    2; Over heating. Has the cooling system recieved any maintanence in the last 6 months?
    There is a number of things that can cause overheating, or it could be a combination of things that together cause the fault. There could be internal or external (or both) radiator blockages, faulty thermostat, or a faulty water pump.

    3; Dash squeeks. No easy way to fix these. You need someone with a keen ear to sit in the passenger seat and try to identify where the noises are coming from while you drive. Once you have identified where the noises eminate from, you need to work out the best way to fix them. If you have 2 pieces of trim rubbing you might try trimming the surfaces to create clearence, lubricating them with vasaline or packing the area with foam. You need to work it out on a case by case basis.

    Hi and welcome to Nissans Nut House Linley.

    Buy a pair of boat horns from Ebay, approx $20.00 to your door. Loud and semi-tough.

    Thanks Tim - is that to make my car louder or to make the ex-cons feel at more home? Actually, now that I live in the country and only drive to work once a week, I don't have to toot anyone. Still, knowing that you have a big horn does give you confidence, even if you don't have to blow it ....

    Thanks guys. It's good to know others are out there. I'm about to attempt the glow plugs (winter in the Adelaide Hills is pretty hard in the mornings) so I hope I won't turn my Nissan into a Lada
